View Full Version : MP4 meta data - specifically video coverart and ratings?

Are there any plans to read the embedded MP4 meta data, ratings, coverart, etc.? I've purchased Mezzmo and would like to know the future plans around this. This meta data attributes for MP4 (M4V) show up under iTunes and I'd really like for Mezzmo to take advantage of this information.

Thanks.

I would like to second this request. I've been using iTunes and MetaX as they have more meta data options. It would be much simpler to use Mezzmo.

Actually we should already be reading those in - can you please send a file that has those tags, but which don't appear in Mezzmo to support (at) conceiva (dot) com and we'll investigate.

Hi Dennis,
I'll do this when I get some time to determine which file zipped will send via email.
I can tell you that none of my 200+ movies, cover art or ratings show up in Mezzmo. The actual file extensions are M4V, but I don't think that's the issue.

Here what I can tell you that is being read into Mezzmo:
Actors
Year
Genre
File Type

I should be easily replicated if you have iTunes or MetaX program. I use MetaX to search the internet for this metadata and pick the cover art, actors, PG, R, year, genre, brief synopsis, etc. that's presented. I can then goto iTunes and see all of this metadata.

Any ideas?

Again, I'll send a file ASAP.

Hi,

Thanks for the file - we'll investigate it soon and somebody will get back to you via e-mail with that. We'll of course try to get as much information from a file as possible and save it in Mezzmo so that it could be used.

Dennis,
I've tried to upload one of my smallest MP4 files zipped, it comes out to be 810MB, which is too large for my email provider to accept.

Any ideas?

Thanks

If you can upload it to http://www.megaupload.com (for example), then we can grab it from there. Thanks!
